OK - I am looking in the gallery at these cards saying they are using paper piercing - and they all have these really evenly cut scraps.....
I'm thinking - how is this "pierced" - how did they use the crafters tool kit????
For MONTHS - literally MONTHS I have thought this
Purusing my catty at page 223 at the color catty which I won today ata charity bingo !!! and glance over at 222 - PAPER PIERCING - ITS A PUNCH!
I about fell out of my chair - I really was beinging to wonder - how the HELL are these ladies cutting these things so precisely???? Looked at the templates - nope.
I even tried Printing a card and trying to HAND cut a few and the angel was all wrong!
OK - lets all laugh - I think this is Hysterically funny - who knew!!!
Don't feel too bad... the punch is actually called paper PIECING not piercing! So I don't blame you for trying to figure out what was going on! It would have confused me too - I would have been looking for what was pierced! Oh, the power of one little letter added to a word inadvertently!
I'm blushing for you. :oops: We've all had THOSE moments from time to time. At least you can laugh at yourself about it! (some of us are snickering a little-teehee )

P.S. It's really not your fault though if people called it paper PIERCING, since that punch is called the paper PIECING punch. lol
Oh, rats! I had a real "duh" moment the other day and you all would have appreciated it, but now I can't remember it. I hope it comes to me so you all can have another laugh.

Your funny! I ahve them all teh time - my kids jsut such teh memory right out of me too!
Stupidity? Well, I hesitate to even share what I did today. I wouldn't call your search for a "technique" stupid, Kate... If I didn't already know about the punch I would have probably thought it was cut by hand. On that note, wanna know the "technique" I, uh, um, "tried", today? Well, I put my stampin scrub in the dishwasher to get really clean, and it warped... It has been that way for a couple of months and I just laugh and tell people at my workshops what NOT to do with their scrubber... Uh, and, uh... :oops: well, I wanted that thing to be flat, darn it. I was baking cookies before some people came over to stamp and, ........ :oops: I thought... well, a minute in the oven and it will flatten out! Um, as usual, I got distracted, and about 20 minutes later I smelled burning plastic... :oops: Needless to say, my stampin scrub is still not quite flat...it is more like a puddle. So if in the future you see "do not put in oven" on the stampin scrub, you'll know why... and I will know one of you tattled to corporate!!! Well, I gave everyone a laugh today. :lol: Me too! What a dork I can be. So Kate, feeling pretty clever?!?!?!
I have had several customers call our Forest Foliage "Forest Foilage". So you're not the first, last, or only person to have what my family refers to as a "brain fart". Don't be embarrassed about it, we all have them!
Since I'm a "word" person, that piecing/piercing thing has driven me nuts from the day the catalog came out. Everybody screws it up all over the place! You should all nominate me for sainthood for my restraint! I've NEVER corrected anyone!!!!!! LOL

*note to self* Scrub is NOT oven safe.... thanks for sharing that tip! LOL
OH! I remembered it! I was looking at my spring mini and it suddenly for the first time made sense! I never could figure out why anyone would want a stamp that has the whole alphabet on it and how you could use a circle punch with it. The light has finally come on!!!!

You use the punch to remove the letters you need to make words!!!
Isn't is awesome!!! I can't wait to get my mini and place my order - these are the times that not being a demo stink the most!!!
:lol: So you are saying that I am supposed to stand and watch the dishwasher until it gets to dry and then take it out?!?!?! Uh... how about I just put the next one in the wash machine with the dish towels? And yes, my oven smells like plastic everytime we use it... and I do still keep saying "What is that plastic smell?........I mean, Oh..." To make matters worse, I placed an order to SU yesterday out of grocery money (me so bad!) and FORGOT to order a new stampin scrub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! Does anyone have a brain I can use to jump start my own?!?!?!?!?!?!
P.S. Really, my IQ is 135... but maybe I warped that too!!! I know! I know! It is the smell of ink that is getting to me! (?) :shock: :lol: :lol:

Yes, the alpha bits.....told my sister I didn't think I could cut out all those letters and get them on the blocks individually. Duhhhhh...... :oops: :oops: :oops:
:oops: :oops: After telling me they stay together I tried to figure out how to use an alph back ground stamp. :oops: :oops: She finally go through to me and I spotted the punchers :shock: :shock: Talk about dense!
Lisa:
You're hilarious! Does your dw have an low energy setting or just air dry setting? That would probably work and if it fits on the top rack, it should also be fine on any setting. I have a dw that has a deep top, so I'm lucky and able to put a lot up there.
Lisa, girlfriend, I was ROTFLMAO!!!! Could you please bring your stampin scrub the next time we SoCal girls get together? I'd love to see it! :lol: :lol:

ROFLAO!
Um.. yes you are supposed to stand there watching and waiting for the dry cycle so you can take the scrub pads out! I mean, we've all got time to just stand around doing nothing but watching the dishwasher, right? :lol: Setting the dishwasher to air dry might work, too. :lol:
You know, though, I saw that gorgeous teacher-y apple card in the gallery last night (thanks, whoever did that) and it was great with the whole alphabet.
I have been looking for paper peircing templates (with the R) but not the brass ones, paper ones that I could photcopy and re-use. I got the new tool in my tool kit!
I guess we're all guilty of the DUH moments....I had done a stamp camp that my neighbor/co-demo was supposed to also be helping at, but then had family issues, so she gave me all her supplies - I brought her little basket home with me after the camp, put it on my sofa table, and my "cute" little dog grabbed the Stampin' Mist spray bottle (which was almost empty) out of the basket and proceeded to chew the heck out of it. So, I ordered her a new one, then about a week after the first chew incident, I had MY SM spray bottle sitting on the coffee table...yep, "cute" little dog got ahold of it and proceeded to again chew the heck out of it (and that one was nearly full!) Good to know that the stuff isn't toxic (at least to a 20 lb. dog).

Too funny!!!
Anyone want to alugh with me at my stupidity?????
